Long delays on crash repairs.

Or just saving money by getting rid of warehouse space.

No company wants to upset any of its customers

... unless that "company" is the CCP & they're willing to forego the business for political reasons.
Like with the wee-wee for the deisels ...

Alot of the warehouse space Holden used when they were operating has been let out.

Also Hamilton Holden (I think was their name) used to stock new parts, but they are no longer a Holden dealership...No idea what happened to all their stock

Holden did lease other warehouse space in SA for this. Also in Melbourne addition space was sourced to deal with bulky slow moving items.

So Colorado, Captiva, Equinox, Trailblazer, Acadia etc?

Not in great quantities as they can all be sourced overseas as they are current lineup in the Chev/GMC range including Colorado panels which can come from Brazil.

I thought @Forg was joking that completed vehicles were slow moving items (off the sales lot) so we’re put in storage

Awesome.....and end up with a 12+ week wait like we experienced for a coolant overflow tank with the wife's Mitsubishi.

Aftermarket 4 days ex east coast.

Not off the lot so much as just mobile roadblocks ... and not to forget bulky!

No company wants to upset any of its customers but a customer that deals in large quantities on a regular basis will always be given priority over a customer who orders one part once in a while.

They will miss out regardless of the fact they have placed their order first.

We ordered a ZB rear bumper on back order in February from one of the larger SA Holden/HSV dealers and given the ETA early May. That was extended to mid August and then Early December and we got it Tuesday December 7th. 9 months is a long wait and our order may have been re-allocated to larger dealers in the East perhaps.
